Using any picture book you can find (library, home) write 25 good sentences about the pictures you see. Be sure to use the correct forms of "tener, ser, estar". You should use one of these verbs in each sentence. Check your book to be sure you use the right form! I will take off if you do not capitalize your sentences and have correct punctuation for them.
